hi,
have u turned the request around?
let me give you some info 1st. my husband is my best friend he has ptsd from a bad surgery. he is disabled and that has caused several health problems not to mention the meds that they try to "fix" everything with. hope this gives u an idea of what is going on.
whenever he asks me to do something that i feel might be detrimental i always ask him to turn it around and look at it from my point of view. not that i'm being a pussy for not doing it but "hey if this were in reverse how would u feel?" do you have any info on what it might do to you and how i would feel if i did damage to u? i always try to bring the "big picture" out and if he has a hard time seeing it point out that it is just like a puzzle sometimes u think u have the right piece but find out later that the piece u needed was almost exact to the one picked.
YOU are NOT a pussy for standing up for what u believe in or for protecting a friend. friends are few and far between.
ask your friend "if u were me and i was you and i asked u to do something that might hurt me would u do it?"
hope this helps
